📋 About This Mod
Removes the exploding gib effect that is caused by this perk. The other mod that did this edited quests/perks. This one edits the spell and magic effect that causes it directly to make sure it doesn't happen at all, without messing with anything else.
Looking at the older mods that achieved the same results for FO3/New Vegas in xEdit. I made this one. I also ported this mod to New Vegas: No Bloody Mess because the other one also had a pretty dirty method of removing the gibs that made it incompatible with TTW.
Compatible with everything just load it last to make sure as I don't think anything edits the spell or magic effect.
Someone was kind enough to port this to Xbox One, you can get it here.

No Bloody Mess removes the exploding gib effect from the Bloody Mess perk by directly editing the spell that causes it, ensuring the effect doesn't occur without altering quests or other perks.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 989 endorsements and over 22k downloads.
- Targeted fix that doesn't touch quests or other perks, so it's low-risk.
- Simple and effective for immersion-focused players who dislike the gib effect.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only removes the gib effect; the Bloody Mess perk's damage bonus remains, which might not be what some players want.
For Fallout 4 players who want to keep the Bloody Mess perk's damage boost but hate the over-the-top gib explosions. It's perfect for immersion purists who prefer a less gory wasteland. Skip if you want to remove the perk entirely or if you're on a newer game version without testing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod edits a spell directly, it should be placed in your load order after any mods that alter the Bloody Mess perk to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install it normally and check for conflicts with other perk overhaul mods.
- Test in-game by taking the perk and killing an enemy to confirm the gib effect is gone.
